THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 37
When he arrived at the hospital, he found Clarisa’s friends—Patrick, Cyena, and Loren—standing outside her room. They looked at him as if they wanted to clarify something. "How is Clarisa?" he asked, breaking the silence, as none of them seemed willing to speak. "She's inside, it looks like she’s asleep... Reed, is it true that you’re also the father of Diana’s unborn child?" Patrick asked, giving him a piercing look while waiting for his answer. Reed felt like he was on the hot seat. "I-I don’t know. She disappeared for a long time and didn’t show up. The last time we saw each other was at my wedding with Clarisa..." "If she is really pregnant and I’m the father, I will take responsibility for the child, but I need to be sure. I’ll have the baby undergo a DNA test." Clarisa’s friends exchanged glances. He wanted to tell them to believe him and not Diana, but he had no evidence. Even he was confused by everything that was happening. He excused himself and entered his wife’s room
THE UNWILLING BRIDE (ENGLISH) CHAPTER 38
CLARISA: Today is the day she’s being discharged from the hospital. Her mother came to help pack her things, and Lolo Miguel was there to settle the hospital bill. "Dear, after you’re discharged, you’ll still be staying at the mansion," Lolo Miguel said. "But I don’t want to go there, Grandpa! I want to stay at our house!" she insisted. "That’s not possible, dear. You’re pregnant, and you need help with your pregnancy. Especially since you still have amnesia, you need someone to guide you. I’ll hire a private nurse for you." "But Grandpa, my mom and dad can take care of me!" She wanted to insist on staying at their house; she didn’t want to live under the same roof as that womanizing Reed. "My decision is final—you’ll stay at the mansion. I won’t risk the welfare of my future grandchild because of your stubbornness!" Lolo Miguel said firmly. She was stunned. In her entire life, she had never seen Lolo Miguel so angry. "Listen to Don Miguel, Clarisa. This is all for your own go

Her husband helped her out of the car once more. "Lolo, can I stay in a different room?" she pleaded with the elderly man. "No! You’ll stay in your room with your husband... that’s how it should be. Besides, you need someone with you, even when you sleep, to keep an eye on you," Don Miguel insisted. Clarisa frowned, while Reed secretly smiled. His grandfather would do anything to ensure they reconciled as a couple. "Come on, sweetheart... you need to rest," Reed said gently. Clarisa stormed off to their room, not bothering to wait for him. She was so irritated that she walked off angrily. When Reed entered the room, she was already sitting on the bed, waiting for him. "Let’s get one thing straight, Reed! I don’t care if Lolo says we have to sleep in the same room, but there’s no way I’m letting you sleep next to me in this bed! You stay on the sofa, and I’ll sleep on the bed! Understood?" "Yes, sweetheart..." Reed responded like a child, seemingly just following her lead. She

Once Reed was sure she was comfortable, he went into the bathroom. She was startled when he came out, completely naked, walking around their room casually. She thought he would have assumed she was asleep, but he didn’t realize she was watching him. Was he modeling or something? But in fairness, her husband did look quite handsome. His body was stunning—muscles defined, a flat stomach, and impressive abs... Wow! Her gaze traveled to his manhood. She gasped. How did something so big and long fit inside her? How did she handle it? Didn’t she lose consciousness when he entered her? Shit, his manhood was enormous. Her whole body suddenly heated up. Perhaps Reed sensed she wasn’t asleep yet and approached her. Still naked, he was now right in front of her. "Sweetheart... aren’t you asleep yet? Is something wrong?" Shit, he caught me not sleeping!!! "Uh, I’m having trouble falling asleep..." she lied. If only he knew she had been watching him all this time. "Do you need anything?"

“Iha, this is your private nurse, Janeth,” Don Miguel introduced. “Hi, Ms. Clarisa!” Janeth greeted the nurse. “Hi, Janeth...” She looked at the nurse. She was quite beautiful, like a model nurse. She must have some foreign blood; she was mestiza and tall. Is she a nurse or a model? she wondered to herself. She suddenly thought about her husband. Oh no, he’s going to be in trouble with his unfaithful husband again! This one might get pregnant too. She frowned. “What’s wrong, dear? Are you feeling anything unusual?” Don Miguel asked worriedly, perhaps noticing the change in her expression. “Ah, nothing, Lolo. The baby just moved a bit, so my stomach suddenly hurts,” she lied. “Ah, the baby! Baby, come out soon. Lolo is excited to see you!” Don Miguel said cheerfully. “Alright, you stay here while I take care of things at the orchard. Janeth, take care of Ms. Clarisa, don’t leave her side.” “Yes, Don Miguel.” Clarisa was bored at home. Don Miguel went off to the orchard, Reed w

“I’m not suspicious; that’s a fact! And I don’t care if you’re seeing other women… Go ahead and see as many as you want!” “Hahaha... You’re cute, sweetheart. Don’t be sulky; our baby might turn out to be ugly if you keep it up!” “Hmmp... Fine, I’m going to sleep!” “Good night, sweetheart. I love you!” “I love you too, your face!” she replied and ended the call. Sigh... What else does he need to do for his wife? His patience with Clarisa was growing. He secretly smiled, knowing he was starting to win back his wife’s favor. A little more tenderness, and she would be his again. A little while later, he heard a knock at the door. He straightened himself up, put on some shorts, as he was only in his briefs after his shower. After putting on his shorts, he opened the door. It was probably just Aling Nena. They were the only ones in the house. “Reed! It’s good to see you here!” He was mistaken… It was Glenda. She was wearing just a small piece of fabric. He knew she was flirting wit

The friends were already by the pool. It had been a long time since they last saw each other. If it weren’t for their project, they wouldn’t have gotten together again.Each of them had their own businesses, but they decided to form a company together and plan to build a subdivision.They had acquired a one-thousand-hectare lot in Batangas, which they would develop into a subdivision.While waiting for their dinner, one of them sent over some beer so they could have a drink first... just to warm up a bit.After a while, Glenda arrived, bringing the pork stew her friends had asked to be prepared."Wow, that looks delicious, Glenda!""Yes, Sir! My mom’s cooking is really good!" she said, playfully charming her friends, even batting her eyes. He just sighed."Can I take a picture with you handsome gentlemen?" Glenda asked."Why? We’re not celebrities," Jon chimed in—he was the most playful among them."Oh, Sir! You’re even more handsome than actors! You look like F4! The ones from that T

"Good morning, Grandpa," Clarisa said as she arrived at the dining room, where the elderly man was having coffee."Good morning, dear." He stood up and helped her sit down."Grandpa, why do I have a new nurse again? Janeth has only been here for two days. What happened to her? Did something happen?""I replaced her, dear. Reed asked me to. He thought you might get jealous. He doesn’t want you to feel bad about little things he didn’t even do, so he thought it would be best if I just replaced Janeth."Clarisa thought about what her grandfather said. Jealous of Janeth? She remembered she had teased Reed, saying that her new nurse was pretty and sexy. She smiled at the thought. She had only been joking, but Reed had taken it seriously. Poor Janeth—she lost her job because of it.But it was probably for the best. Janeth wasn’t doing her job well anyway, and Maria was much better and more attentive."Maria is great, dear. She’s experienced, so she’ll be a big help to you, especially since

CLARISA: She woke up with a throbbing headache. She was lying in bed and had fallen asleep. Glancing around, she realized it wasn’t her room, but she was still in the hotel where the convention was being held. The setup of this room was identical to hers. She tried to recall what happened before she lost consciousness. Her memory was hazy, but she distinctly remembered Albert giving her wine, and then everything went black. She bolted upright. Where was she? She looked for her cellphone. She knew she had put it in her pocket before passing out. "Good, you're awake," Albert said, stepping out of the bathroom, freshly showered. "What did you do to me? Why am I here?" she asked, her voice filled with confusion and fear. "Did you think I would just forget what you did to me? I won’t let anyone else have you, not even your ex-husband! I’ve been waiting for you for so long, only to find out you have a family here in the Philippines?" "What are you talking about, Albert? I neve

REED: Reed was excited to see Blue and Clarisa together again. He was determined to join them this time. In his mind, he kept thinking about how much he wanted to see his wife again. He had already talked to Blue, who promised to help him convince Clarisa not to return to America. He just hoped she’d agree and give him another chance to win her back. He had been chatting with his wife earlier, pretending to be Blue so she would respond. Every time his phone chimed, his heart fluttered, knowing it was Clarisa. God, I missed her so much! Even though they had just seen each other yesterday, he wanted to run to her and hold her tightly. For two years, he had lived in worry and search, unsure if she was alive or dead. Why had it never crossed his mind that she might have returned to America? He recalled seeing her for the first time yesterday... He was speechless. She was even more beautiful now. Her once straight hair was now curly. He didn’t mind—it suited her. But there was somethin

CLARISA:She was getting ready to sleep when suddenly, there was a knock on her door. She frowned. Who could it be? She didn’t order room service, and she and Blue had already eaten at the restaurant earlier.She checked the peephole before opening the door. It was Albert, and he looked drunk.She opened the door slightly but kept the chain lock in place, allowing only a small gap. If he tried anything inappropriate, he wouldn’t be able to enter her room.“What are you doing here, Albert?” she asked.“Let’s talk, Clarisa! You led me on... I thought you just weren’t ready to answer me, but it turns out you’re married and have a child?!” he exclaimed, raising his voice due to his drunken state.“I never led you on, Albert. Not once did I give you any reason to think you had a chance with me! You don’t know my reasons for keeping my marriage and child a secret, so you have no right to talk to me like that!” she retorted angrily.“But you know I love you, Clarisa! I’ve loved you for so lo

REED:His jaw tightened as he watched his wife with another man holding her. He wanted to run over and punch him... No one could take his wife away!“Daddy? Is he Mommy's boyfriend?”“No, sweetheart... didn’t Mommy say he’s not her boyfriend?”“Why didn’t you kiss Mommy earlier? Are you two fighting?” Blue asked him. He never thought his child would be so observant at such a young age.“Mommy is a little upset with me, sweetheart... because Daddy did some bad things in the past... but Daddy won’t do them again...”“You should say sorry to Mommy, then!” his child insisted.“Okay, sweetheart, I will do that, but you have to help Daddy!”“How?”“Convince your Mommy to come back home and live with us, and not go back to America...”“She’s going back to America? She’s going to leave us again?”“Yes, so you need to make her promise not to leave... you’re the only one who can stop her. She loves you so much that she can’t say no to you.”“Okay, Daddy, I’ll do what you want as long as Mommy d

“Hey, honey!”Their attention turned to the person speaking behind them. It was Albert. She suddenly frowned. Why was he here again?He had followed her despite her telling him not to. He was so annoying... it was irritating!And he even called her honey in front of her child and Reed! She shot Reed a glance, and his jaw tightened upon seeing the man.“Who is he, Mommy?” Blue asked, frowning.“Mommy? You call her Mommy?” Albert said in surprise at what he heard from Blue.“Who are they, honey?” Albert asked her.“Don’t call me honey, Albert! How many times do I have to tell you?” she replied firmly.“Who are they?” he asked her again.“T-this is my baby Blue and my ex-husband…” she introduced, not wanting to explain further. But she knew Albert well. He was persistent and wouldn’t let her go. She also didn’t want to deny her husband and child in front of him.“Husband... not ex-husband!” Reed corrected her. She just raised an eyebrow at him.“Are you the one who was with my mommy on T

“Daddy!!!” Blue shouted as he broke free from her and ran to his father, asking to be carried.“Daddy, look! Mommy is already here!” Blue exclaimed, pointing at her.“I can see that, son…” he replied softly, his gaze never leaving her. She remained with her head down.“Maria…” she turned to the nanny. “Didn’t I say it should just be us?” she whispered.“Yes, Ma'am... I didn’t know Sir would follow us,” the nanny replied, looking a bit nervous. She hadn’t expected to see Reed there.“It’s not Maria’s fault, sweetheart. Don’t blame her,” Reed said, having overheard their conversation.“Daddy, let’s sit here next to Mommy,” their son said, still in Reed’s arms. The table was quiet, with no one wanting to break the silence. They were all just feeling each other out.“Um, I’ll leave you two for a moment, Ma'am Clarisa, Sir Reed,” Maria said, standing up. She didn’t wait for their response, not wanting to interrupt but wanting to give them time alone as a couple.“How have you been? You loo

He spent the whole day at home. Maybe once he left, Blue and Ate Maria would leave too.He shouldn’t lose sight of the two of them. He couldn’t let them slip away.It was nearly five o’clock. He saw Maria talking on the phone earlier, but he didn’t ask any questions. He pretended he hadn’t noticed. He knew it was Clarisa. She must have told her where they would meet.Blue and Maria were still in the room. She was dressing the child. They were probably getting ready to leave. Maria had already informed the driver to take them later. He didn’t want to get involved in their plans; he had his own plans.He just wanted Maria and Blue to leave peacefully to meet Clarisa, and then he would show up.As soon as Maria and Blue came out of the room, Blue approached him to say goodbye.“Daddy, we’re just going to meet Mommy, okay?” his son said, holding a bouquet of roses. He had asked his yaya to buy it earlier to give to his mommy.“Aren’t you going to come with us?”“Maybe next time, son…”“O

“Dad, where's Mom?” Blue greeted him, waiting for him at the gate of their house with Maria.“Sorry, son, Mom is still at work, so she can't come home yet. But I promise you I will bring her here, okay? Don't be sad…”“Promise?” he asked sadly.“Y-yes, son…” Even he was unsure of his answer. He didn't know if he could keep the promise to his child. But he didn’t want to see his son sad. Blue had been waiting a long time for his mommy. He hoped that Clarisa would at least think of them too.“Let’s go inside…” he said, taking the child's hand. They walked into the house in silence. Blue still looked sad. He felt helpless to cheer him up; only his mommy could make him happy that day.As soon as they entered the house, the phone rang.“Maria, please answer it,” he instructed Maria, suspecting it was another prank caller who never spoke whenever he answered.Maria quickly walked over to the phone to answer it.“Hello?”“Maria, this is Clarisa.”“Ma’am!!!” Maria exclaimed in surprise.“Don’

She had just finished getting dressed when someone knocked on her door. It must be Albert. They startled each other when she opened the door."You look stunning, honey...""Hmph, flatterer... Let's go before we're late.""Let's go..." he replied, holding her arm. She wanted to shake him off, but she was afraid he might get mad and say she was being difficult. Lately, he had been getting touchy with her. She didn't want anyone touching her, especially not a man. She still had a phobia of men, probably because of Fernando, who almost raped her.When they arrived, there were already a lot of people in the convention hall where their convention would be held. Albert stuck closer to her, holding her at the waist. He was acting like a boyfriend. She was annoyed, but there were media people around, and she didn't want to embarrass Albert."Good morning, Dr. Smith! Can we interview you?" a reporter asked Albert."Sure! Sure!" he replied, smiling. She didn’t want to join in, but he tightened h
